My feeds are FILLED with images and videos of people wearing their Vision Pro out in public (see pic, via Reddit).

Reminds me of how weird AirPods looked when they first started popping up in public. Now they are ubiquitous.

I'm a believer. Vision Pro is going to be a big part of Apple's future.

@davemark Just waiting for someone go get hurt by a thief ripping it off their head and running! I don't WANT to see it...but I'm sure we WILL see it... 🤷‍♂️

stevegio,

@davemark I’m a Vision Pro owner and photos like this just don’t sit well with me.

@stevegio Why? (and no judgment, just curious)

stevegio,

@davemark Just not for me. If I were sitting down with another human, eating a meal, I just feel I wouldn’t want that experience to be mediated through this device. I would probably feel the same if they were staring at smartphones. Just my feelings and no judgment on the folks in this picture. I also can’t imagine the physical challenge of eating and drinking though an entire meal wearing any kind of headset. Sipping coffee while I’m working wearing the Vision Pro is a bit uncomfortable.

@stevegio I hear you. Personally, I think that feeling will go away when we get to the point where we’re just wearing glasses and the technology gets really small. Might be a while. 😀

@davemark the same kids that wear full over the ear headphones in public will not feel self conscious about it at all.

Still waiting for the first public grab and run ‘purse snatching’ of them, though they be pretty much an unusable brick to the mugger

He stands like a statue,
Becomes part of the machine.
Feeling all the bumpers
Always playing clean.
He plays by intuition,
The digit counters fall.
That deaf dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pin ball!

He's a pin ball wizard
There has got to be a twist.
A pin ball wizard,
S'got such a supple wrist.

@wa7iut LOVE this! It just fits. Cheers!

Danathar,

@davemark Yea, but are these just stunts or people looking for likes or responses on their social network feeds? Take this photo for example, what specific app on the Vision pro would make it useful to wear your VisionPro while eating?

davemark,

@Danathar I don’t know if stunts is quite the right word, but I do agree this is a combination of showing off and exploring. But if you watch some of the videos of people wearing this gear in public, check out the reactions of the people around them. Combination of curiosity and surprise. No hate though.

Danathar,

@davemark Well, also WHERE they are wearing them in public. The reactions of people walking around is gunna be WAY different in San Francisco than other places. Personally speaking, I'm excited for it, in the same way I was for first gen Iphone. This has a way to go before the average person gets one though.

@Danathar I'll post a video of Casey Neistat in NYC. A good example.

And agreed, ways to go before the average person gets one. But I DO think that day will come.

@davemark @Danathar Spend some time around teens and this type of social interaction is already here. Kids sit at the same table and FaceTime each other and bring friends in who aren’t with them at the restaurant or coffee shop so they can all talk. The thought of my kids’ generation sitting around a table without tech as part of the experience seems to be fading fast. They’re already seeing a chunk of the world through the iPhones so this won’t feel like a huge leap to them (except $ to get it)
